John Edwards News Archive

Believe it or not, Nick Young isn't the only celebrity out there whose affair(s) came to light after the mistress got pregnant. Looking at you Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mathew Knowles, John Edwards, etc. etc.!

Rielle Hunter's dreams of becoming the J.K. Rowling of non-fiction didn't really pan out after her book, What Really Happened: John Edwards, Our Daughter, and Me, only sold somewhere around 6,000 copies.

After facing criticism during every major media appearance for bashing John Edwards' deceased wife in the memoir, the infamous mistress wants to turn her reputation around.

Although it seems like the public's mind has been made up, Rielle wants to turn to Donald Trump for help!

Sources are saying that the controversial blond wants to appear on Celebrity Apprentice and explained:

"Rielle admires Donald Trump and says that if he could turn villains like Real Housewives’ NeNe Leaks and Teresa Giudice into lovable TV personalities, then maybe he could do the same for her. Rielle’s reputation is pretty much mud in the public eye, but she’s delusional enough to think she can turn that around. And the truth is that if anyone can make Rielle Hunter likable, it’s Donald Trump.”

If Trump doesn't want Mz. Hunter, she'll settle for Dancing with the Stars or The Bachelorette too. We're not so sure those shows will settle for her though.

Despite major media appearances on ABC and CNN, Rielle Hunter's memoir detaling her affair with John Edwards has only sold 6,000 copies.

While that number did allow the book crack the New York Times best-seller list, we hear other publishers aren't sorry for not releasing it themselves.

More so, many sources are speculating that the lackluster sales of the tell-all book have caused the controversial author to shelve the rest of her book tour. However, Hunter's rep is saying otherwise by commenting:

That's right! We finally know the reason John Edwardsdecided to split with Rielle Hunter!

The mistress-turned-mother revealed on Good Morning America this week that her relationship with the former presidential candidate was over. However, she wouldn't say who called it quits or why because "that's private."

Not anymore! Sources are saying that Edwards DUMPED her because his daughter, Cate Edwards, gave him the ultimatum to choose between Rielle or her.

Since the 30-year-old lawyer was offended by Rielle's version of What Really Happened, a source has explained:

Rielle Hunter has been speaking out about how her affair with John Edwards began, but now she's letting the world know that their relationship has ended!

The former presidential candidate's mistress went on Good Morning America (above) to make the split official, but had to answer for her perceived insensitivities toward Elizabeth Edwards in the process.

While Mz. Hunter wouldn't give up too many juicy deets about WHY they called it quits, she stood by her decision to write What Really Happened. As she defended her comments about her baby daddy's dead wife, she stressed that she wants her critics to get the facts straight before they judge.

"My metabolism actually changed like crazy this year. I have Hashimoto's disease. It's a thyroid disease, and it's now been two years since taking the medication for it, so for the VS show I didn't want to lose any more weight, I just want to have muscles in the right place, and if my butt can get a little perkier, then that's good."
